There's a wonderful energy in London right now. The sun has finally arrived, the city feels alive again, and — if you're anything like us — you've got one eye on the property market and the other firmly fixed on the World Cup. It's a great time to be in the capital.
As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.
3 out of 10 London landlords are currently negotiating tenancy renewals without realising these rules also changed on 1 May 2026. All tenancies are now periodic, so renewals no longer exist! Rent increases need to be handled via serving an official notice and following a process. Don't make a £7,000 Mistake.
.... you’re not too concerned about who negotiates your sale price, who shows buyers around or who explains what makes your home and its location so special.
